Bowen Cooperative Nursery SchoolBack to School Events
Right before school starts, each class is invited to participate in a special playdate so the children and parents can get to know each other. Examples include raspberry picking and meeting up at a playground. Each classroom lead teacher also makes a special trip to every child’s home to introduce herself and get to know the child before the first day in the classroom. This further smooths the transition.
Special Visitor’s Days
In October and February we invite a parent or special friend or family member to join each Bowen child in a seasonal activity and to share a special snack.
Potluck Supper
Each fall the Hospitality Committee and the Vice-Presidents host a potluck supper for the parents and staff -always great fun and great food! The Fundraising Committee holds a Children’s Art Auction over dessert.
Community Sing-a-Long and Holiday Party
All classes gather on the last day of school before the holiday vacation to sing. Then, each class hosts a holiday party for its families. The children cook and decorate for the event.
Annual Pancake Breakfast
In March, children and families gather together for a pajama pancake breakfast and fundraising raffle.
Yard Sale
The first Saturday in May brings our annual yard sale organized by our Fundraising Committee.
End-of -Year Picnic
